[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ The point is that the most elite privates are over represented at the most elite colleges and universities and the author is correct”

I can speak to this a bit. I went to an Ivy college from public and actually worked as a college admissions counselor a bit. I don’t think my kids need to go to elite private schools.

In fact - i think grad school & im going to encourage my kids to go to public college & save money for grad school. [/quote]

good for you, it doesn't change the fact that elite privates sends disproportionate numbers of students to elite colleges [/quote]

So do certain public’s—the issue is mor about class than private v public.[/quote]

And those certain publics also have a select population whether via requirements to be accepted into a magnet program or the amount their parents have to pay to live in the right zip code for that school.  Publics in wealthy zip codes have plenty of privileges as well and also propped up by financial support from the parent associations[/quote]
